Changing array values in a VBA dictionary

arrays, dictionary, excel, vba

Solution

It seems you'll need yet to set another var to update the array value.

mArray = mydict.Item(1)
mArray(1) = 34
mydict.Item(1) = mArray

Problem

I have a piece of code that does not seem to do what it is expected to do. VBA Arrays are mutable by all means, but it seems that when they are stored into a Dictionary as values of some keys, they are not mutable anymore. Any ideas? ``` Sub foo() Dim mydict As New Dictionary mydict.Add "A", Array(1, 2, 3) MsgBox mydict("A")(1) ''# The above shows 2, which is fine mydict("A")(1) = 34 MsgBox mydict("A")(1) ''# The above also shows 2, which is not fine End Sub ```
